3029, Houyi Action (2)
.
Risen had heard of this name, it seemed to be one of the ancient myths of the earth, his grandparents told him these myths and legends when he was a child, the time was too long, he couldn't remember all the legends and stories, but he still had a lot of impressions of this person, nonsense, the cow who could "shoot" nine out of ten suns in the sky, can he forget it so easily?
As for why this name was used as the code name of the operation, it is said to commemorate a staff officer of the lieutenant colonel who died in honor of the Imperial Omega base, when the Imperial Omega base came uninvited to the Alaska base headquarters above the Alaska base, the lieutenant colonel who was responsible for dealing with the aftermath was still stranded in the base, and the lieutenant colonel who stuck to the last moment was busy reactivating the base's defense system, evacuating people, and transmitting the data obtained about the imperial base, while facing the thing in the sky, he said hatefully, "Give me an arrow, I'm going to have to 'shoot' you down. ”
Hence the name of the latter action.
However, Risen knew that it would not be easy to really "shoot" that thing, and if he was not careful, he didn't know who 'shot' whom.
General Martin's meaning is very clear, even if he is not to lead the attack, he will inevitably occupy a very important position in the operation, he does not want to be affected by the lack of understanding of the plan of action, he is not the only one affected, but a more complete grasp of the purpose and requirements of the attack will be better able to help him make a decision in the event of an unexpected situation.
He slowly opened the top-secret document......
Post-operation - actually refers to the attack on the Omega base, which is an ambush operation, to put it simply. This operation is to lure the Imperial Battle Base to the assembly position of the Alliance Fleet, use the newly developed new MK7 Energy ++ Omega Base Ground Space Folding and Jumping Ability, and then take advantage of the short opportunity that the base will not go anywhere, gather the strength of the Alliance Fleet, break through the interception of the Imperial Base Escort Fleet and Starfighters, and completely destroy the Omega Base before it recovers the Space Folding and Jumping Capability.
It seems very simple, and it does have the possibility of success. But is it really that easy? Ressen closed the file and closed his eyes, the details of the entire attack plan flashing through his mind like clear water. This plan of action, as General Martin had put it, was quite risky. According to Risson, the risk is as high as his gambling operation to destroy a planet to destroy the Empire's Fifth Fleet. Because the scale of the operation was larger, the people involved were more complex, and the consequences and significance were equally greater.
He still clearly remembered that in Operation Weeping of the Galactic Empire, as the commander of the operation, he needed to take into account about more than a dozen interstellar fighters, three ships, and hundreds of people, and then the operation, the alliance mobilized almost all the main fleets and most of the interstellar fighter forces, plus the huge base and escort fleet of the empire. The scale and complexity of the battle can be imagined, and it is probably not far behind the battle between the Earth Federation and the Galactic Empire that determined the "sex" of the Big Horn Seven Star Domains. In such a complex operation, if one of the steps is accidentally missed. Or even if there is no "dew" but there is an unexpected situation, even if it is just a small mistake, or just a small accident, under the chain reaction, it may also cause the fiasco of the entire operation, and the consequences of the failure of the operation are completely unimaginable, just like the battle of the Seven Star Domains of Arcturus, if it fails, the Earth Federation may no longer exist at this moment, and after the action, Risen is completely sure that if it fails, the history of the Resistance Alliance may be over.
In addition to the unprecedented scale and complexity of the operation, the risk of post-action is extremely high, which is also reflected in two other aspects:
One is the new MK7 energy pulse torpedo: |: The relevant data on the space folding jump of the Omega base obtained by the Fifth Independent Mobile Fleet, developed on the basis of the old-fashioned MK6 type~line, theoretically speaking, it can effectively prevent the formation of the folding force field, and if the folding force field cannot be formed, the Omega base cannot jump into the subspace and escape when it is attacked and the situation is not good.
This is the most critical part of the post-action, but it is also this link that worries Ruisen the most, the bad is the bad, in theory, three words.
The old MK6 energy pulse torpedo, put into practical testing, this kind of test is very easy, there are space jump points everywhere, and the alliance also has many space jumps that can be used to test
Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, but MK7 Energy Pulse Fish =: There is no way to test it at all, everything only exists in theory or simulation tests, because at present, the only one with the ability to fold and jump in space is the Omega base, where do you go to find the test subject? The idea of sending a fleet to lure out of the Imperial battle base for testing before the start of the operation is also not feasible, not to mention that the luring enemy fleet will definitely be sacrificed, which will greatly weaken the attack force on the Imperial base, and more importantly, it means that the alliance's new weapons have not yet begun to be put into use, and the secret has been "exposed" in front of the empire, and once the empire learns that the alliance has this weapon, it will definitely take a series of countermeasures, and even infer from the appearance of this weapon to the alliance's next move - this is not impossible, There are too many variables in between, and when the after-action is launched, the alliance may lose the biggest key to the ambush war--sudden "sex", and it is difficult to say whether the MK7 energy pulse torpedo can still play its due role at that time, and the after-operation may be a total disaster, and the risk is too great.
Therefore, the new MK7 type energy pulse torpedo must be used > real combat, which can achieve the maximum sudden effect, but theoretical and simulated tests are not real combat after all, and if this thing does not work at that time, it will be over.
However, the risk of this question is "sexuality", in which they put Joel. After Dr. Emmerson got it, with the help of the most prominent scientist in space folding theory and the father of the Star Cruiser system, the new MK7 energy pulse torpedo would be able to do at that time; It's a problem.
The second question is whether the Alliance's attack fleet can take this base after the MK7 energy pulse torpedo temporarily paralyzes the space folding and jumping ability of the Omega base, don't look at the unprecedented strength of the Alliance's Grand Fleet - with ten space carriers and nearly 2,000 starfighters of various types, but the escort fleet of the Omega base is not vegetarian, and the specific strength of the escort fleet is not too clear, but the intelligence officers of the alliance speculated from the accompanying strength of the Omega base when it appeared or replenished in various places, There is a powerful fleet of at least six or seven space carriers, and they are all Imperial-class, which is higher than the Alliance's Assault-class fast space carrier-based aircraft, plus the defensive firepower of the base itself and the stationed starfighter troops, it can be said that its strength is not much worse than the assembled Alliance Grand Fleet, yes, the Alliance's pilots may be of higher quality, and the "sex" ability of the lightning starfighter is also slightly stronger than that of the Super Banshee, but don't forget that the Omega base also has that terrifying planet-destroying weapon system Sunset, In the real competition, even if the rebel alliance can be won, it is bound to suffer heavy losses, a lose-lose ending.
Thinking that the Empire could still summon reinforcements, and that the Alliance had no extra military resources to spare, Risen felt that his left eyelid was jumping, which was not a good omen.
If they can have more troops and invest at the critical moment, then the certainty will be greater, or, can they lure away the escort fleet of the Imperial battle base, just like they did with the Pearl Harbor base, and deal with the defense forces of the Omega base and the starfighter units stationed alone, it will be much easier, but sending the fleet to lure away the Imperial escort fleet is still the same problem, it will weaken the force of attacking the Omega base......
However, General Martin had said that this was only a preliminary plan of attack, and that it would need to be readjusted and that he would be able to brainstorm a better way at that time......
"Risson, the fleet is back, come up." In the communication, it was Sonia's hurried voice.
"What, wait for me.
Risen hurriedly put away the top-secret documents, and it was not too late to think about them later.
Yes, that's her.
Under the faint starlight, this behemoth ship slowly joined the Allied Fleet from the rear surrounded by familiar cruisers and destroyers, and the hull was surrounded by flashing red and green anti-collision lights and identification lights, and at the top of the bridge, the conspicuous lights kept changing colors, which was a sign of successful completion of the mission, and from a distance, it was so beautiful.
She completed her mission again and returned safely, not only successfully striking the Empire's transport supply lines, but also escorting several transport ships of the O'Brien family of the New Xijiang Galaxy back to the Alliance Grand Fleet, which was full of various supplies, without which the operation would have to be delayed for at least two weeks.
"Archangel."
Resson and Sonia snuggled together, silently watching their fleet, Resson never expected to be so excited and happy to see the mothership again. "We're going home."
